Imogen Carter
Artist in Residence
Imogen Carter is a city girl originally from East London who moved to Canada five years ago, a decision she calls one of the best of her life. Settling in the Kootenays, she’s immersed herself in mountain activities like skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and mountain biking, while also creating intricate illustrations inspired by her new lifestyle.
After working as a self-taught illustrator, Imogen spent a year studying ceramics at the Kootenay School of the Arts in 2023, marking the start of her exploration with clay. This shift from detailed line drawings to working with raw materials deepened her creative process, leading to a new focus on combining earthy textures with her detailed illustrations. Her work now bridges the gap between two-dimensional art and experimental use of different mediums and surfaces.
